The Emperor of the Three Realms
chapter 59
Both sides agreed to send five disciples to fight. The victor three times out of five will be labelled the winner, and will seize control of Argus Star Palace for the next ten years.
Jiang Chen was truly uninterested in the competition of five true meridians qi.
Jiang Chen quietly began to use his God's Eye when everyone's gaze was fixed on the crowd of youths, and he began to observe the guests sitting down.
If the Lotus Harvester were to come, he would naturally not bravely appear without a disguise. He will certainly disguise himself as a guest and take advantage of situations to take advantage of, such as robbing the owner when his house is on fire.
He had to admit, all these guests were quite fascinated. Almost everyone in Jiang Chen's ranks of the God Eyes focused their attention on the competition on the field.
This was a competition between the most outstanding disciples of the new generation of Argus Star Palace. The guests with these extraordinary abilities all made a living in the Great Stone Province. They would naturally pay attention to the condition of the succeeding generations of the Argus Star Palace.
The first two battles were quickly resolved. The Northern and Southern Sect both won one battle.
Jiang Chen had also completed a series of observations but obtained nothing. None of these people looked like disguised Lotus Harvesters.
Jiang Chen's mind was not calm, so he made a thorough observation. The result was the same, he did not find any flaws in the guests.
“Could Lotus Harvester really not come? Or is he so well disguised that the Eye of my Lord cannot see into him?”
Jiang Chen slightly questioned his own judgment. Due to his training on “Boulder's Heart”, he had a faint premonition telling him that something was going to happen in Star Argus Palace today, and it was most likely that it had something to do with Lotus Harvester.
It could be said, it was possible that the Lotus Harvester already existed.
Except, there were three hundred full guests who witnessed the competition. Where is the Lotus Harvester? Jiang Chen first observed using the God Eyes, then utilized the Zephyr Ears to listen to the breathing and heartbeat of these people.
In the end, he still got nothing.
“Is my feeling wrong?”
The four competition battles had finished as Jiang Chen pondered, and both sides had won twice.
At this moment, a fifteen to sixteen year old girl walked out from behind Sectmistress Jade of the Northern Sect. She wore a light yellow deep skirt, and had a beautiful and delicate body. He slowly walked onto the stage.
“I am a disciple of the Northern Sect Wen Ziqi, please give me your instructions.”
The girl named Wen Ziqi had a head full of hair that resembled a waterfall of black threads. His eyes were like varnish, shining with purity like mountain springs.
The softly spoken words were enough to make his entire face flushed to the back of his ears.
“I've heard of the Jade Sect Young Master of the Northern Sect getting a good disciple. It must be you, little sister. I'm your stupid brother, Lu Boyu, and I'll demonstrate some moves with you.”
This Lu Boyu was slender and tall, and his thin face exuded a suave sense of suaveness. His eyes were like a second mouth that could also speak.
He had some trace of an elegant demeanor in his movements.
What surprised Jiang Chen enough was that the two were actually six meridians true qi!
For two six meridians true qi to appear in the Star Argus Palace that was so small, no wonder it caused those who witnessed the competition to also gasp and exclaim softly.
The originally confident and charming face of Sectmistress Jade suddenly darkened. He had kept this disciple, the pride of his joy, as a backup and hid his strength in preparation to fly to heaven with a single feat. He had not expected that the Southern Sect would also do such a thing.
The battle of these two trump cards is indeed much more exciting than before.
Although Wen Ziqi was gentle and delicate, and even blushed as she spoke, she was not the slightest bit ambiguous and perfunctory when she entered a battle state. His progress and setbacks were measurable, and he attacked and defended. He actually had quite an authoritative aura.
Except, Lu Boyu's disciple was clearly a character that was developed with great emphasis by the Southern Sect. No matter what Wen Ziqi did, she could firmly suppress Wen Ziqi.
And, with his fighting attitude that completed the task easily, he clearly restrained his strength.
Jiang Chen shook his head lightly and personally glanced towards the Southern Sect of Shen Rong. A cunning old fox is an expert in intrigue and maneuverability. It seemed like the Northern Sect was still unable to win for the next ten years.
As the thought flashed through Jiang Chen's mind, Lu Boyu lightly exhaled strongly and grabbed him gently with his hand, grabbed Wen Ziqi's sleeve and brought her to sniff in front of her nose. “Mm, national beauty and heavenly fragrance – outstanding praise, outstanding praise!”
Wen Ziqi was a symbol of awkwardness as she could neither advance nor retreat at that moment. His eyes were red, tears were already flowing in his eyes.
Madam Jade of the Northern Sect slammed her hands onto the table and got up, speaking angrily to Shen Rong of the Southern Sect. “Shen Rong, are your students as mean and cheating as you?”
Shen Rong laughed out loud and gently rubbed his shell. “Jade's sister, what's wrong with young people making harmless jokes?”
Madame Jade was so angry that her alluring body trembled slightly and her pink face was engulfed in fury. He had been making preparations for over ten years but in the end was still a step away. It was easy to imagine the depression he was feeling.
Lu Boyu cupped his hands towards Wen Ziqi, “ Wen's sister, your foolish sister had no other intentions and was just joking with you, that's all.”
Tears welled up in her eyes, Wen Ziqi lightly stomped her feet and ran towards Madam Jade, starting to cry out from her sadness.
“What are you crying for?” Madam Jade was also experiencing the same depression and she gave a lecture, “Your skills are not as good as others, so go back and train well. How will you assume responsibility for great things in the future if you only know to shed tears when faced with something?”
“A proud hypocrite.” Madam Jade is not in a good mood.
“Sister, your foolish sister was brooding in the depths of the mountains some time ago and accidentally discovered the hidden place of the sect. It may touch on the legacy of our founder of the Argus Star Palace. Your foolish sister found it difficult to do so many things alone, and wanted to invite her little sister to return to the mountain and discuss strategies together.” Shen Rong's posture was quite low.
“The secret place of this sect? The founder of this sect?” Madame Jade's delicate eyebrows shot up slightly.
“Sister, you and I are from the same sect and origin. Why should you separate your business from mine because of such an important matter? If this matter can facilitate the merger of the two sects, in the future, haven't you and I already given good service to the sect?” Shen Rong's tone of voice was very sincere.
Madam Jade pondered deeply as she felt a slight dilemma. If Shen Rong's attitude was haughty, Madam Jade would definitely leave with her expanding sleeves.
On the contrary, Shen Rong had humbled himself and every word he spoke was based on the sect's straight aim. This is a little teasing Madam Jade.
“Sister, there are many people here. Why don't you and I discuss this matter first in the sect's secret room? I have some pointers that happen to need to be discussed with junior sister.
Madame Jade hesitated for a moment and finally nodded. “Shen Rong, if you really have the intention to help this sect merge into one, then I, Madame Jade, am not a heartless person.”
Shen Rong was overjoyed, “The generosity of sister is a blessing of our sect. Please come this way."
He immediately gave orders to Lu Boyu, “Boyu, take care of various honored guests. There are things I need to discuss with my sister.”
"Yes." Yeah."
Shen Rong conveyed his apology to the guests and moved to the internal area of the Argus Star Sect along with Madam Jade.
Jiang Chen sat in his chair, somewhat confused. A competition had ended just like that, but he had not gathered any clues at all.
His instincts told him that there must be something unusual at this ten-year event. However, he was unable to find any trace of her, no matter how he observed her.
“Where is the error?” The guests had already dispersed both and three. Some were intending to leave, while others were preparing to return to their residences and leave after dinner at the banquet at Star Argus Palace.
Jiang Chen was helpless and devoid of strategy at that moment, as he sank into a stalemate.
“Do I really make this trip without results?” Jiang Chen was unwilling to admit defeat. He felt confident that he had missed some fine details.
After training “Boulder's Heart”, he was convinced that his intuition was much stronger than ordinary people.
At this moment, another disciple walked out from inside the inner door and spoke to the six or seven female disciples left behind, including Wen Ziqi. “Sister, according to the junior master's orders, I invite my fellow younger sisters to go and pay their respects to the sect's founding master.”
After hearing that it was their teacher's order and had something to do with saluting the founding teacher, Wen Ziqi naturally did not refuse and followed her student away.
Staring at the messenger disciple, Jiang Chen's emotions palpitated slightly.
“Have I never met this guy?” Jiang Chen thought of the experiences of the past few days in his mind, but was unable to find any memories with regards to this person.
But, when this disciple had just arrived, his mental strength had detected a familiar feeling.
Who is that guy? Jiang Chen's mind flickered and he walked towards Lu Boyu. “Brother Lu.”
Lu Boyu looked at Jiang Chen's appearance as a wandering practitioner and smiled faintly, “What instructions did this esteemed guest give you?”
“Brother Lu, the disciple who just came brought a message, who is he in Argus Star Palace?”
“Oh, it is one of Master's honor students. I don't remember his name. What, you know him?”
Jiang Chen shook his head. "Just curious."
A disciple of honor, obviously someone who did not have a certain reputation, however, he gave Jiang Chen a familiar feeling. Jiang Chen instinctively followed them out.
But, as he chased after them, there was no trace of the people outside.
The strangest thing was that the female disciple was supposed to have a certain body scent. But at this moment, a strange smell spread in the air, making it impossible to discern the scent of the female disciples.
“No, this is not true.” Jiang Chen immediately used the Eye of God to the extreme and looked at his surroundings, yet still appeared empty-handed.
It was as if that honor disciple disappeared into the air with those female disciples.
Jiang Chen found a Southern Sect disciple and asked him where the founding temple was located. When he quickly rushed there, the key was hung on the door of the temple. There is clearly no ritual worship to its founder.
“Indeed, something is wrong with that honor student!” Jiang Chen calmed down and discussed the entire matter again. Suddenly, the sideburns of Shen Rong's Southern Sect floated in Jiang Chen's mind.
"Hmm? Shen Rong's! Aye! I actually just detected Shen Rong's presence on that messenger disciple. Even though that person was consciously hiding his presence, the movements of a few minutes and the subconscious habits could not escape the attention of the Eye of my Lord!”
“Is there something wrong with this Shen Rong?” Jiang Chen did not hesitate any longer when his mind got to this point, and he exerted the God's Eye, Zephyr's Ear, and Boulder's Heart to the maximum extent possible.
